Just installed the Splenssy electronic deadbolt, and here’s my raw take:
🔥 The Good Stuff: Stainless steel build feels like a tank—no cheap plastic here. Came with FOUR remotes (why so generous?!), and setup was stupid easy thanks to the double-sided tape hack. The low-battery beep warning? Lifesaver.
🤨 The Quirks: Yeah, it’s noisy—like a sci-fi airlock sound effect. Not stealthy, but oddly satisfying? Remote range is solid (tested in my yard), but sometimes lags half a second. Heard horror stories about random midnight unlocks… praying that’s not my future.
💡 Pro Tip: Mount it at the TOP of the door frame—way more discreet than eye-level. Battery life’s been great (6 months and counting), but keep spares handy just in case.
Verdict? For the price, it’s a fun upgrade from keys… as long as you don’t mind sounding like a spaceship docking.
